BS EN 14227-15:2015

What is BS EN 14227-15-Specifications for hydraulically stabilized soils about? 

BS EN 14227-15 is a standard that serves specifications for hydraulically stabilized soils, enhancing the usability, application and performance in road construction applications. BS EN 14227-15 specifies hydraulically stabilized soils for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas and specifies the requirements for their constituents, composition and laboratory performance classification. 

BS EN 14227-15 covers the stabilization of soils using one or a combination of cement, fly ash, hydraulic road binder, lime and blast-furnace slag.  

Who is BS EN 14227-15-Specifications for hydraulically stabilized soils for? 

BS EN 14227-15 on specifications for hydraulically stabilized soils applies to: 

• Soil treatment facilities 
• Suppliers of hydraulically stabilized soils 
• Contractors and infrastructure developers 
• Construction, civil and design engineers 
• Road maintenance authorities 
• Inspection and quality assurance services 

Why should you use BS EN 14227-15-Specifications for hydraulically stabilized soils? 

Hydraulically stabilized soil is a stabilized mixture of soil and water that sets and hardens by the hydraulic reaction. Aggregate, water and a hydraulic binder make up a hydraulically bonded mixture. Cement, fly-ash, ground and/or granulated slag, lime, pozzolan, and mixtures of these are all possible binders.  

BS EN 14227-15 provides users guidance on constituents such as cement, fly ash, blast-furnace slag, hydraulic road binder, lime, soil, water and other constituents, ensuring hardness and structural stability of hydraulically stabilized soils. 

BS EN 14227-15 provides users guidance on constituents, mixture, requirements for the fresh mixture, laboratory mechanical performance classification, resistance to water and other requirements for the mixture, production control, designation and description, ensuring the quality and performance of hydraulically stabilized soils. The adoption of BS EN 14227-15 allows users to standardize the requirements for hydraulically stabilized files, ensuring cost-effectiveness and limiting the environmental impact in roads, airfields and other trafficked areas. 

What’s changed since the last update? 

BS EN 14227-15:2015 supersedes BS EN 14227-12:2006, BS EN 14227-13:2006, BS EN 14227-14:2006 and BS EN 14227-10:2006, which is now withdrawn. BS EN 14227-15:2015 also partially supersedes BS EN 14227-11:2006. Changes in BS EN 14227-15:2015 includes merging of EN 14227-10:2006 to EN 14227-14:2006 parts.
